Back & lay calculator
Stake, liability, profit and commission for a back bet and a lay bet, side by side. Runs in your browser; nothing is sent or stored.
The same stake and price, seen from both sides of the ladder. The lay side shows what the layer risks (liability) and what they keep if the selection loses.
Result
These figures assume your bets are matched in full at the prices you typed and that commission is charged on net winnings at the rate you entered. The exchange's own rules and rounding are the only ones that count. 18+ only.
Under the hood
The formula
- Back bet: profit if it wins = stake x (odds - 1); loss if it loses = stake.
- Lay bet: liability (loss if the selection wins) = backer's stake x (lay odds - 1); profit if it loses = backer's stake.
- Commission is taken from the winning side's net profit on the market, so a win of ₹850 at 2% commission keeps ₹833.
- The two sides never both win: one person's profit is the other's loss, less commission.

A calculator never makes a bet safer
It only shows what a bet would pay. It cannot know who will win, it cannot see whether your bet will be matched and it does not change the fact that most bettors lose over time. Set your limit first. Real-money online gaming is restricted in India: read our lesson on the law.
